About MacCVSProMacCVSPro was a project, originally on MacCVS.org, and was originally sponsored by Netscape Communications Corporation and mozilla.org. Its mission was (and is) to provide free and open CVS client software for Mac OS by coordinating, building, and guiding the public sharing of such software originally developed at Netscape. At the moment, MacCVSPro is staffed by Glenn L. Austin, with the help of current and former Netscape employees including Ram Rajadhyaksha, Simon Fraser, Scott Collins, and Don Melton (some of these e-mail addresses may no longer work). We do have a mailing list, hosted here by SourceForge. About CVSCVS, the Concurrent Versions System, is a version control system which supports branching, multiple users, and remote collaboration. CVS maintains a history of all changes made to each directory tree it manages. Using this history, CVS can recreate past states of the tree, or show a user when, why, and by whom a given change was made. CVS has both client and server components which usually run on different systems and communicate via internet protocols. CVS client and server software is available in both source and binary form. The server is compatible with most Unix variants and clients exist for many platforms. Visit the CVS site for more information. About MacCVS ProMacCVS Pro is a completely free CVS client for Mac OS which is available at this site in both source and binary form. Its Finder-like interface with drag and drop capability is designed to be intuitive for non-technical users, and its features such as true CVS Log and Status commands are designed to be useful for professional software engineers. In addition, MacCVS Pro is multi-threaded so operations can be executed simultaneously. MacCVS Pro was originally developed at Netscape beginning in 1996 by engineers working on Navigator and other projects for use inside the company and has been known internally since then, simply, as MacCVS. Its copyright is owned by Netscape Communications Corporation and other contributors, and is now freely re-distributable under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL). MacCVS Pro (currently) shares no code with and is not derived from the CVS client for Mac OS developed by Mike Ladwig, Matthias Neeracher, and Alexandre Parenteau which is called MacCVS, nor is it related to other software called MacCVSClient. |
